Writer?
I have always loved to read. I go to the local library every other week to get 3 or 4 books. I like a lot of different genres. I have always been interested in writing. Honestly though the fear of rejection and the sheer amount of work has held me back.
Yesterday I started to look up online writing courses. There are free ones too. I guess I have never thought this far into it. I took a couple writing courses yesterday. They were very inspiring.
The first one I took was on Udemy.com, the course was named "Secret Sauce of Writing" by Shani Raja. The four crucial ingredients per Mr. Raja are simplicity, clarity, elegance, and evocativeness. He recommends to use familiar language, use as few words as possible, and uncomplicate your ideas. "When you cut away unnecessary words from your sentences, you give them more power, they become punchy." He is an excellent speaker and makes everything very easy to understand.
The second course I didn't finish yet. It was also on Udemy.com. It is a creative writing course named "Starting to Write" by Louise Tondeur. She states students should use the course to develop a writing habit. She recommends bringing a notebook wherever you go and to jot things down. "A writer is someone who notices things." Use your experience, your observations, your words. She recommends writing down what you notice. Try to find details that others may not notice. This course is really inspiring. She has activities to do throughout the course. I am excited to get started on my writing.
I also went on Pintrest to get ideas in how to start writing. There are a lot of different pins re: writing. Also a lot on starting a blog. I started this blog because I like to write. It's pretty much an online diary and if people want to read it, have at it!
I will post again soon, maybe a short story or something! Please comment down below if you think I have a shot of writing something, fingers crossed 🤞 Thank you!
